Gabe Sapolsky (born September 26, 1972) is a professional wrestling promoter and creative writer (Booker), primarily focused on Evolve. He is currently the vice-president of talent relations, creative and marketing of the World Wrestling Network (WWN). Sapolsky has also held various creative and marketing positions in the professional wrestling industry, notably as Paul Heyman's Personal Assistant with Extreme Championship Wrestling, the co-founder and head of talent relations (Booker) at Ring of Honor, and the vice-president of Dragon Gate USA.
He attended Runkle Elementary School, and later Brookline High School, graduating in 1990. He received his B.A. in Communications from Temple University and graduated in 1994.
Sapolsky began his career with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) writing a company newsletter in September of 1993. Sapolsky was hired full-time shortly after graduating from Temple University, about the same time that ECW opened its first office in Philadelphia. Sapolsky became a protege of Paul Heyman and handled many different responsibilities, including marketing, promoting and public relations throughout his tenure with the company. He became an official RF Video employee in 2001, shortly after ECW closed.
In 2002, Sapolsky co-created and co-founded Ring of Honor (ROH) and was named the booker of the promotion. He introduced a new style of booking. As the booker of ROH, Sapolsky won Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Best Booker award four years in a row from 2004 to 2007. Sapolsky was also the booker for Full Impact Pro (FIP), an independent promotion in Florida that used to be the sister promotion of ROH. Sapolsky used the ring name, Jimmy Bower, for commentary. On October 26, 2008, ROH made an announcement stating that Gabe Sapolsky was no longer working there. After Gabe's departure, he also ceased his roles with FIP.
